T had us talk about how we parented our son. It was difficult because it reminded me of everything we went through. While I hemoraged minutes after labor, our newborn was struggling to breathe. Our son had many medical problems and a couple life threatening scares. We talked about how we both dealt with it differently. He wanted his family close and I wanted no one around. This affected our relationship. It saddens me to hear how important and hurt he was by how I reacted. Had I known, we could have combined our values. Instead I pushed my ideas and he went along. Overall, I wanted to scream! "after everything we've been thru- how could you throw it all away!"
